“That’s pretty neat, but why don’t you just learn how to fight like ht And I need to have toys like these because unlike someone”—his eyes darted to me—“I don’t have the reflexes of soe somewhere between a sloth and a turtle”

I couldn’t help but chortle at the colove looks useful and all, but it see my cramped hand

“Yup And another downside is that the ot frohed as he took off the fuzzy black glove

I looked at the stacks of books piled all over his side of the roo around it By the way, how did you give theon ReadReadNovelFullonlinecoave it to Headenerous donation in return for a percentage as a cut”

I groaned “How e anyway? With you buying your books and uy you barely know, I doubt even half the amount made it to the headmaster”

“I didn’t have any other choice No way in hell would Olivia takeus with questions”

“It’s Head ot a few books that you could use too! Check it out!” Nico exclai to a small pile of books behind hiht up as I reached for the books “Very well This nani his head

Unable to think of a witty co

I groaned “Don’t tellanother accident,” Nico said

As the rhyth continued, we reer than usual this tilove “Let’s go check it out”

<hr>

“It’s dangerous! Remember what happened to one of the volunteers that tried to hold her down?”

“Yup! That bear of a man couldn’t even make it near her” Nico shook his head fro to wait like this until Cecilia passes out I can’t ih and got up as hen a thought struck me My lips curved up into a smirk “You like her, don’t you?”

“No way! I don’t even know the girl!”

I didn’t respond as ht! I just think she’s a little pretty That’s all!”

“Mh a slap fromrained throughout the hallway as the entire orphanage shook

I spotted Theda and Odo hiding underneath the dining table along with soer children on our way to Cecilia’s roo left at the end of the hallway, Nico and I stopped in front of an iron door that stood isolated, away froiant house Headmaster Wilbeck was already there with a few of the adult volunteers that helped clean andhad intensified, and one the volunteers named Randall, a kind and burly arden, prepared to go inside as another worker was about to open the door

There was no way that Randall would be able to make it to Cecilia with the intensity of this outbreak snatching the glove off of Nico’s hand, I bolted for the door

“Wha—Grey!” Nico called out

Before anyone had a chance to react, I zipped past Randall and into the room as soon as the door opened Once inside,a force that sent Randall crashi+ng against the corridor wall I had heard about Cecelia’s peculiarity but going against it head one roo while a look of panic struck her face as she spotted ht was an irregularity ast ki users While even the most capable practitioner would, at best, be able to produce a sy with his ki, Cecilia was able to send torrents of ki around her—that’s how vast her ki pool was

However, she wasn’t able to control it, and from what the headhtest provocation of her emotions

While irl like her, I could only see it as a curse

Going solely on instinct, I was able to clue the blasts of ki that shot at me One hit and I would be unconscious at the very least

Cold sweat rolled downwith a near-invisible force that had the power to breakme instantly roll to my left A loud thud resounded on the wall behind ed another burst of ki

I stretched outI would be able to reach her, when my instincts kicked in once ht

Another thud echoed behind e of ki hit the wall

“Y-You can’t!” Cecilia said through gritted teeth “You’ll get h-hurt”

Her bed, which she was laying on, had been de andtoward her, i

This tiht arm

I let out a restrained yell as I forcedar out with my left hand, I willed what little ki I could love that Nico had made and prayed that my idea would work

I was able to place my palm just above Cecilia’s sto all of love throb

Cecilia let out a pained gasp, her al as she fell unconscious Locks of Cecilia’s blonde hair fell over her face as her flushed cheeks began draining to her original creamy color

I tried to stand up, but my body refused to listen froht, before joining Cecilia in her slumber

ARTHUR LEYWIN’S POV:

“Sir! Please, wake up!” An unfaof

As my vision focused, I was barely able to make out the shape of a woht directly cast to her face “Sir! I’ you Please, we need you washed and prepped for Comently as I turned away from her, still half asleep

“Move out of the way I’ll wake hirunted as a loud crackle resounded fro toin ain,” I said sharply, still in a foul ument with Tessia yesterday

“I see you’ve learned some new tricks,” Bairon responded with his hand still outstretched

It had been over two years since I had last seen the blonde lance He hadn’t changed much, except he had cut his hair short and the scowl on his face was even harsher

“Don’t you know it’s dishonorable to attack so off ed before turning around and heading out the door “Now get changed The rest of the lances are already by the teleportation gate”

I watched as Bairon, whose brother I had killed, walked out of ot what he meant when he said that ere in times of war: both of us were invaluable allies

The handmaid ti but—”

“It’s okay, Rosa I just got direct consent from Commander Virion to speed up the process,” another,a large cart covered by a sheet

The handlances between her coworker and me “A-Are you sure, Milda? I don’t think we should do anything to offend—”

Milda held up a er to silence her associate She then turned to aze as she rolled up the sleeves of her blouse “Now, Sir If you’re not in theyourself, I’ll be et into the shoith you and wash you”

I inadvertently took a step back in horror “No, no I’ood,” she said “After you wash, please dress in this set of armor Lord Aldir prepared for the speech today”
